Again perfect timing. Our guide gave us details along the way of various historical facts. Very friendly and courteous. Would recommend deluxe ephesus tour. Thanks
These are the most spectacular ruins that we saw when visiting Turkey. If you visit the country and have limited time, these are the ruins that you should visit. There is a lot to see at these ruins and you should allow several hours. We thought that the entrance was awesome, however there were much better sights as we walked through the place.
I would highly recommend great experience to anyone, and I am pleased to say that I had a great time
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us the best places to get photos of various things. At several attractions, he let us have time to ourselves to walk around.
I highly recommend getting your own, private tour with this company when you dock in Kusadasi. It’s much better than getting on a crowded bus and waiting for other people in your party.
The group had a great time in Ephesus. In all, this was the most wonderful tour.
I need to retire tomorrow and move here!! Happy hour every day with buy one get one drinks? Yes please!!
My husband and I booked a private tour of Ephesus while we were in port for one day. We didn’t really like the tours offered by our cruise ship, so we opted for a customized tour. It only cost us about $20 more. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed the whole trip and would do it again. Thanks
The tour began at approximately 8:30 and we were told it would be approximately 5 hours. We did not arrive back to port until after 2:30, so it made for a very long day.
I cannot see how you can visit here without spending a full day via with a guide. A truly beautiful place worth the day. I love the ephesus is great.
